BCS Championship: Gator Bait 41-14

The Florida Gators chewed up and spit out the Ohio State Buckeyes like they were dog meat on a cold winter day in the swamp. The Gators routed OSU 41-14.

Florida got all but one of the 65 first-place votes in the final Associated
Press poll. Ohio State dropped from No. 1 and finished second.

"Honestly, we've played a lot better teams than them," Florida defensive
end Jarvis Moss said. "I could name four or five teams in the SEC that could
probably compete with them and play the same type of game we did against
them."

Leak, maligned for never winning the big one, completed 25 of 36 passes for
213 yards and a touchdown. The Rambo-like Tebow threw for one TD and powered
into the end zone for another.

Smith, meanwhile, joined a long list of Heisman Trophy quarterbacks --
Jason White, Eric Crouch and Gino Torretta, among them -- to fall apart in bowl
games. He was just 4-of-14 for 35 yards with one interception, sacked him five
times and held him to minus-29 yards on 10 runs.

The Gators dominated the Buckeyes. Ohio State played a pretty weak schedule as most Big 10 schools do. The layoff of 51 days for the Buckeyes didn't help much either.
